XnView Software

Hi,

First, thanks for great software.

At the moment, I'm using XnViewMP 1.3.1 on Xubuntu 22.04.

1. In XnViewMP I set "Settings / Interface / Switching mode / Use ENTER to switch between" = "Browser <> Fullscreen | Viewer <> Fullscreen". Problem is that I really can't get properly working relation fit-window-image along with zoom. Behaviour I would like is:
- Fullscreen = "Fit image to window, large only"
- this works
- Viewer = "100% zoom"
- image is unzoomed at 100% zoom but there is no such option in XnViewMP
I've tried to achieve this with various options but it doesn't work.
- "Lock zoom" locks zoom but if I change zoom and go to next picture than this modified zoom is applied to next picture while I need next picture to be opened with 100% zoom. So, "Lock zoom" works correctly and it is not solution to what I need.
- "Setings / View = No fit" is not intended to do what I need.
What I see as solution is:
- BUG?: complete decoupling of zoom in fullscreen and viewer
- present situation is that when I switch from fullscreen to viewer than zoom from fullscreen is applied to viewer which is not correct behaviour, they should be completely independent
- add option "100% zoom" to "Setings / View"
- this would be "Lock Zoom" but unchangeable by zoom modifications on previous picture so the next picture is ALWAYS opened with 100% zoom
- if other users need other zoom-levels than input-box could be added to choose zoom-level, I don't need that because I need only 100%

2. I would like that if image is smaller than screen than window should shrink to image-size, something like "Fit window to image". From various forum-topics it seems that this is not possible?

3. I'm using AppImage. On Xubuntu it seems that some so's are missing (xcb-platform...) so I've collected those so's to one folder and made small sh-script to start XnViewMP so that AppImage is really "portable". Could you include those so's into AppImage so that it becomes really AppImage without external interventions?

Could you post some screenshots to show the problem?

Currently 'Fit window...' is not stable...

which so's are missing?

1.
- take image that is larger than screen (larger resolution)
- open it in viewer and zoom-indicator should show 100% (works correctly)
- switch to fullscreen
- switch to viewer and zoom-indicator will show value different from 100% which is not correct since fullscreen has changed zoom-value for viewer

With settings I described in first message, switching between viewer and fullscreen should not change zoom in viewer. Or am I wrong?

2. Missing so's are libxcb-image.so.0, libxcb-render-util.so.0, libxcb-xinerama.so.0, libxkbcommon-x11.so.0, libxcb-keysyms.so.1, libxcb-xkb.so.1, libxcb-icccm.so.4.
In appimage folder I put these so's into folder lib2 and run sh-script:
#!/bin/sh
dirname=`readlink -e "$0"`
dirname=`dirname "$dirname"`
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$dirname/lib2:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
exec "$dirname/XnView.AppImage" "$@"

so you would to use "Fit image to window, large only" in fullscreen, and 100% in normal view?

Yes, that is behaviour I would like to achieve.

But, I think that disconnecting zoom in fullscreen from zoom in viewer would be right approach, this problem has effect on various settings in xnviewmp and makes them nonfuctional?

Ok, so when you are with 'Not Fit' in Settings>View, zoom value must be kept when going back from fullscreen...

It seems that I understand where is the problem.

I'm using "Setings / View = No fit" and "View / Lock zoom" at 100% and Fullscreen = "Fit image to window, large only", since this seemed like combination that should work. With this settings I have situation I've described in one of previous messages:
- take image that is larger than screen (larger resolution)
- open it in viewer and zoom-indicator should show 100% (works correctly)
- switch in viewer to other images of different sizes doesn't change zoom (works correctly)
- switch to fullscreen with image larger than screen
- switch to viewer and zoom-indicator will show value different from 100% which is not correct since fullscreen has changed zoom-value for viewer

"Lock zoom" behaviour when switching viewer-fullscreen-viewer is suspicious? When switching viewer->fullscreen->viewer with image larger than screen then fullscreen changes zoom to fit image and this new zoom is adopted by "lock zoom" which applies it to viewer when switched back to viewer.
"No fit" option works correctly and doesn't change anything when switching between images and when switching between viewer and fullscreen, and also because of "No fit" setting "Tools / Settings / View / Reset "Auto image size" setting with next/previous file" has no effect in this situation. I'm using XnViewMP 1.3.1 (if that is relevant).

So, it is not possible to have unchangeable zoom 100% in viewer if there is switching viewer->fullscreen->viewer. There are two solutions to this:
1. "Lock zoom" should not be changed when switching viewer->fullscreen->viewer
2. "Settings / View" should get another fit option, something like "zoom 100%" or "zoom = some-value"

tbh, I find zoom settings unintuitive as well, especially 'Last used' option.
I described my points in 'Suggestion B'

Are there any news about this?

I HAVE THE SAME BUG AND STILL PERSISTS!

i don´t know how to solve it

no one helping

what a pity

Hello Pierre

it is NOT Zoom in viewer when retruns from fullscreen

when returns from fullScreen, viewer gets image smaller, that´s my case

my advise is this: in viewer, add an option called: Viewer = "100% zoom" (FORCED!) and NOT editable by others, i mean... when i go to full screen, when i return, viewer keeps zoom at 100% ALWAYS! and not changed, i think that would be an option to fix the bug, tedious bug i mean

NOTE: I sent you a private message, PLEASE read it and reply me, the truth is that I need you to add more effects to the MP version (XNView MP), please take a look at the private message I sent you

thanks in advance, it really means a lot to me those effects!... i really need them

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 1.4.3. Please check and confirm the bug fix here.

Hello Pierre

FullScreen (Auto image Size) Fit image To Window, Large Only => IT DOESN´T WORK

when i go next and previous image, it doesn´t show full image on FullScreen, it shows part of the image, OR... it shows small size image, so... it doesn´t fixed yet!

BUT... on VIEW (no fit) IT WORKS GR8!

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 1.4.3, BUT... it doesn´t.... fullScreen has a bug YET
